298 Killing as One
Fang Jinyu entered into a dream.
This time, Fang Jinyu dreamed that he was playing chess with someone.
“Wake up! It’s your turn!” As a slightly withered palm reached out before him, Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but be stunned. Afterward, he subconsciously avoided it and replied, “Got it!”
However, Fang Jinyu’s reply seemed to have frightened the person opposite him. The slightly withered palm instantly retracted.
Fang Jinyu raised his head, but he realized that he couldn’t see who was sitting opposite him.
It was because a ball of gray smoke was blocking it.
Whether it was his appearance or his limbs, they were all completely covered by the gray smoke, as if he were a person made of gray smoke.
However, Fang Jinyu knew well that the other party wasn’t made of gray smoke.
Thus, Fang quietly turned his gaze to the side. However, he couldn’t see anything there. There was only a faint red color that covered the sky and the sun.
What kind of dream was it?
In his mind, Fang Jinyu began to think.
It was because Fang Jinyu’s mind was empty, and there was no information at all. It directly broke the “pattern” that Fang Jinyu had become familiar with after using the dream of a thousand-year reincarnation technique three times.
Could he have come to the immortal realm in his dream as the little girl had said?
With this thought, Fang Jinyu looked at the chessboard before him and found that the black chess pieces on the board were all dead.
Unfortunately, Fang Jinyu was the one using the black piece.
“Why did you stop?” The voice on the other end didn’t sound dry. Instead, it was very gentle, giving people the feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.
Fang Jinyu didn’t say anything. He thought about it and placed a black stone at the dead end.
“You’re going to die!”
The sentence seemed to have two meanings. The other party placed the white pieces down excitedly. Instantly, a large number of black pieces were cleared. The black dragon that was about to take off was broken in half.
“Sometimes, death on the surface doesn’t mean anything.” Fang Jinyu also took the initiative and placed another chess piece at the same time.
The person in the gray smoke froze and didn’t place a chess piece for long.
It was because Fang Jinyu’s black piece had landed in the place he had cleared out. It was the piece that had reattached the place he had cut off.
The person in the gray smoke couldn’t help but say, “You…”
“Only if you challenge something you believe is impossible will you be able to break through your limits.” After Fang Jinyu finished his words, he quickly urged, “It’s your turn!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Jinyu immediately felt an invisible aura overlapping on his body.
At this moment, it was as if Fang Jinyu had obtained a huge amount of luck.
Fang Jinyu was a little surprised, but not too surprised. It was because he knew it was a dream, and it was an extraordinary dream.
“Bang!”
The person in the gray smoke placed a chess piece. A white piece blocked Fang Jinyu’s black piece, wanting to surround him again!
The person in the gray smoke said, “It’s true that you can’t break through your limits without challenging the impossible, but isn’t it the same as repeating the same mistake and seeking death?” His voice was filled with disdain and warning.
“What you see is only what I want you to see on the surface.”
Fang Jinyu didn’t admit defeat, but the black piece in his hand quickly admitted defeat and began to retreat.
The white chess piece had no intention of letting him go, and it pressed on step by step.
Finally, in just a moment, Fang Jinyu’s black pieces were once again defeated while they were “talking nonsense.”
Fang Jinyu’s chess skills were ultimately not profound. In the past, all he pursued was being able to beat Xin Qianqian. As for the others, they did not have the chance to play chess with him.
Ever since Fang Jinyu broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Of course, Fang Jinyu couldn’t compare to those “female protagonists,” but the cultivators who were in the same stage as him… One by one, they were all far inferior to Fang Jinyu.
Now, most of them were already dead, so naturally, no one could play chess with Fang Jinyu.
Under such circumstances, how could Fang Jinyu’s chess skills be profound?
However, Fang Jinyu didn’t mind. It was just a dream, anyway. Therefore, even if he lost completely on the chessboard and the white pieces kept eating the black pieces in his hand, Fang Jinyu’s “speaking ability” didn’t lose out at all!
“Your black pieces’ life force is already completely gone. No matter how much you struggle, you’re just a trapped beast fighting!” The person in the gray smoke said so, his tone inevitably carrying a bit of self-satisfaction and relaxation.
It was because the overall situation had been decided.
At this point, Fang Jinyu’s black chess piece had no hope of turning the tables.
“Fighting like a trapped beast? Isn’t it the rising dragon?” Fang Jinyu raised his hand and made a move. The black piece, which had already been lost to the white piece, was beginning to rise as he set up his chess.
“What?”
The person in the gray smoke couldn’t help but let out a shocked voice. It was because Fang Jinyu’s move gave him the feeling of “breaking through your limits by challenging the impossible.”
In a desperate situation, Fang Jinyu forcefully cut through the thorns to find a way out.
“Bravo!”
The person in the gray smoke praised Fang Jinyu, but he didn’t go easy on them. He continued to block the white pieces, trying to create a momentum of east, west, north, south, and north to forcefully kill all the black pieces on the chessboard.
Fang Jinyu naturally saw the chessboard’s situation, all kills were one.
The other party’s goal was very clear. They had used a bunch of killer moves to clear all of his black pieces off the chessboard and eat them all in one go!
“It’s not good to have too much killing intent!”
Fang Jinyu placed another chess piece, and at the same time, his tone didn’t weaken at all.
After all, it was a dream.
In a dream, who would be afraid?
The person in the gray smoke opposite him started to hesitate because of Fang Jinyu’s unrelenting aura.
He was worried that Fang Jinyu was hiding some killer moves.
In such a state, even if the person in the gray smoke was skilled in chess and was even better than Fang Jinyu, he was still at a disadvantage since Fang Jinyu used all kinds of despicable chess moves to take down many white pieces bit by bit.
With every white stone he won, Fang Jinyu felt his energy increase a little.
The feeling was very vague at first, but slowly, it became clear. After winning over a hundred white stones, Fang Jinyu suddenly felt a power similar to his inner energy, but stronger than his inner energy!
It was the cultivation ability.
However, Fang Jinyu could only stop here.
Fang Jinyu’s chess skills weren’t as good as his opponent’s, and he had no choice but to lose in the end.
“You lost!”
The man in the gray smoke was like a judge as he coldly said those words. It was as if he wasn’t saying, “You lost,” but “You’re dead!”
In fact, Fang Jinyu was indeed dead the moment he finished speaking.
To be precise, Fang Jinyu’s body in his dream, had died!
